Limitless Potential of a Self-Created Ninjutsu!

Sign—Boar—Horse...!

Tang Ping slowed down the pace of his hand seals, not only to make the technique easier to perform, but also to demonstrate it.

The sequence of hand seals was not the issue.

The key lay in the flow of Chakra within the body, as well as the handling of certain details.

Without knowing those things, it was simply impossible to learn the ninjutsu.

The future Kakashi would be called the "Copy Ninja" entirely because the techniques he learned were low-difficulty, widely applicable ninjutsu. When had he ever used anyone else's truly powerful ninjutsu?

As for this ninjutsu Tang Ping had developed, anyone other than himself who tried to learn it would die.

"Fire Release: Flame Mantle!"

A layer of pale red light, flames as thin as gauze, enveloped his body.

The temperature around him began to rise.

Tang Ping bent slightly, then leaped toward a wooden stake more than ten meters away.

Whoosh!

As his body rose, a large amount of flame burst from beneath his feet, propelling him forward as fast as a rocket.

He landed before a wooden stake as thick as a person and two meters tall.

"Fire Release: Fire Fist!"

Tang Ping threw a right punch, and flames coiled around his fist as he swung.

Boom!

A huge burst of fire erupted from the point where his fist struck, blasting the wooden stake apart.

The flaming gauze garment around Tang Ping's body also dissipated after that strike.

"Signless Ninjutsu?"

Kakashi and Yamaa Koji both stared in shock.

As ninjas, they understood all too well how powerful Signless Ninjutsu was in battle.

"No, that was the effect of Flame Garment!"

Tang Ping walked back over, stepping across the charred fragments of the wooden stake.

He was extremely satisfied with this C-Rank Ninjutsu he had developed.

It might only have been C-Rank, but in terms of practicality, it was not the slightest bit inferior to B-Rank Ninjutsu.

And B-Rank Ninjutsu was generally considered an ace up a jonin's sleeve.

Although it still could not compare to Uchiha Sasuke, who had used A-Rank Ninjutsu not long after graduating, that guy was the Six Paths' biological son and a protagonist with cheats. As a transmigrator without a system, Tang Ping had better not think too much.

"Flame Garment?"

Kakashi murmured to himself.

He knew quite a few ninjutsu as well, but he had merely learned them rather than developed them. Seeing this technique now gave him the urge to develop a ninjutsu of his own.

Still, he felt that if he was going to develop one, it had to be stronger than Tang Ping's.

His competitive spirit!

It ignited within Kakashi's heart.

Minato Namikaze naturally noticed the light in his disciple's eyes. Rather than worrying, he was delighted.

Because this was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Tang Ping, you really succeeded!"

Yamaa Koji's face was full of disbelief.

"Mm. With Teacher Minato's guidance, at least I didn't waste my time!"

Tang Ping was very clear about how credit should be divided.

If he had done it alone, there might not have been any problem with the idea or the direction of development, but who knew how long it would have taken to succeed.

It was only with Minato Namikaze's guidance and help that he had been able to skip the verification and trial-and-error stages.

"No, even without me, Tang Ping, you would have developed it sooner or later!"

Minato Namikaze gently shook his head and did not claim the credit.

He knew very well that what he had done could have been done by any other jonin as well. At most, it would have taken them more time.

But without Tang Ping's idea and development direction, this ninjutsu could never have succeeded.

"Enough, stop arguing. Let's just say you developed it together, all right!"

Kushina Uzumaki interrupted them.

Minato Namikaze smiled wryly and did not argue. He directly led Kakashi and Yamaa Koji to one side to begin their training.

A ninja's ninjutsu was tied to their life.

Unless Tang Ping intended to teach the two of them, it was fine for them to watch, but naturally, they could not be allowed to listen in on what came next.

"Tang Ping, what do you want me to guide you on?"

Kushina Uzumaki spoke directly. With her personality, she would not bother with formalities.

"Kushina-neechan, if I want the flames I convert to last longer and burn hotter, is there any way to do that...?"

Tang Ping stated his request and thoughts.

Flame Garment!

This Fire Release ninjutsu was the prototype for an entire series of techniques he wanted to develop.

It was also because the Natural Power Potion refined by the Fusang Tree had greatly enhanced his advantages in Fire Release, coupled with the Uchiha Clan being the most skilled in Fire Release, that he had decided to develop this ninjutsu.

The effect of the technique itself was extremely simple.

Conversion and control!

It continuously converted his own Chakra into flames.

Ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu also converted Chakra into flames, except they erupted in an instant.

But if he did not make it erupt, that became the prototype of this ninjutsu.

The difficulty was not converting Chakra into flames, but how to release them continuously with precision and stability.

Fortunately, thanks to his long-standing training in Chakra control, Tang Ping could barely meet that standard.

At the same time, the most dangerous aspect of this ninjutsu was one's own resistance to flames.

Even though Chakra essentially prevented direct contact with the fire, a flesh-and-blood body could not endure high temperatures for long.

But Tang Ping possessed an enormous advantage in this regard.

Adaptability!

Or rather, the improvement of his Fire Release talent had also increased his resistance to flames.

The temperatures he could withstand were unbearable to others.

High temperatures were a double-edged sword!

And they were also the reason he had developed Flame Garment.

It was meant for close combat!

Close-quarters combat was Tang Ping's weakness. No matter how hard he tried to make up for it, the results had been minimal.

But if he used Flame Garment, who would dare fight him at close range?

And if they did not fight at close range, he was not afraid of exchanging ninjutsu attacks, much less when he had a Summoning Beast to assist him.

Therefore.

Flame Garment was a ninjutsu specifically designed to compensate for his weakness.

After hearing all of his thoughts, Kushina Uzumaki fell into contemplation.

Sealing Technique could naturally accomplish everything Tang Ping had described, and even do it better and more powerfully.

The problem was that she herself would have to be the one using it.

So she had to consider how Tang Ping could accomplish those things himself.

Tang Ping could naturally tell that she was trying to find a solution, so he stopped speaking. A flickering flame appeared in his palm.

Training!

No one would ever complain that their Chakra control was too high, so he had never given up working on it since transmigrating here.

At the same time, Flame Garment was only the foundation for now.

What Tang Ping truly wanted to develop was "Sage Mode," or at the very least, "Flame Chakra Mode."

This was simply one of the advantages of being a transmigrator.

He would not go in the wrong direction!

Both Sage Mode and Chakra Mode were viable paths, so he did not have to worry about taking a wrong turn or reaching a dead end.

After a while, Kushina Uzumaki finally spoke slowly.

"I have two methods!"

"First, I can teach you the knowledge of Sealing Technique, and you can gradually improve the ninjutsu yourself!"

"Second, ninja tools. I can design specialized sealing formulas for you and seal them into corresponding Chakra ninja tools..."

As expected of a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, the true masters of Sealing Technique.

Not only did she have a way to satisfy Tang Ping's needs, she had two.

The former was a long-term solution, while the latter could solve the problem immediately.

Of course, each method had its own advantages and disadvantages.

The former was slow to show results, but it could solve the problem once and for all.

The latter was quick to work, but enemies could easily counter it, and the cost would be astonishing.

Just thinking about it made it obvious that Chakra ninja tools would not be cheap.

So Kushina Uzumaki also wanted to know which choice her "younger brother" would make.
